Hesse: Unknown men attack and threaten them with weapons

Hofheim (dpa / lhe) - In Hofheim (Main-Taunus-Kreis), three men in a car are said to have been attacked by a group. The attackers are said to have opened the doors of the car on Sunday night and hit the three men and threatened them with weapons, the West Hesse police headquarters said on Monday. In the district of Diedenbergen, the police only found an injured 21-year-old, it said.

As a result of the attack, the 21-year-old and his two companions fled on foot in different directions. The injured came to a hospital. The manhunt, including with a helicopter, was initially unsuccessful. According to the police, the two other victims did not want to provide any information about the incident when they were contacted and are said to have behaved "rather uncooperatively". It was initially unclear how many perpetrators were involved in the attack.
